Michelle Yeoh began working in films after becoming acquainted with Jackie Chan when they filmed a commercial together. She never trained formally in martial arts, but does most of her own stunts in films. In the West, she is best known for her parts in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies and in Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as well as 2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once
Bruce lee is a cultural icon, who sadly passed in his early thirties, just before making what would've been his best movie, Game Of Death. But because of an allergy to certain pain killers, we are without his genius. He has impacted so many cultures in so many ways, he has become immortalized in memory.
The first Asian filmmaker to helm a major Hollywood feature, John Woo initially emerged as the leading light of the Hong Kong action renaissance of the late '80s. Celebrated for his unique, much-imitated style, Woo brought a new depth of emotion and visual beauty to the action genre (All Movie Guide)
